On the 28th of November’14, THINKING-BIG shared ideas with more than 150 people present at the conference of Feira do Empreendedor, in Alfândega do Porto (the whole conference can be seen in a video directed by Catarina David, at the bottom of the post).

This was the fourth time that Edite Amorim spoke in Feira do Empreendedor. The first one, with Bianca Varandas, was focused on “Speaking in Public”. The second time, in co-presentation with another entrepreneur from Porto, Tânia Pinto, on “Female Entrepreneurship”. Last year, alone, she presented the theme “How to maintain a parallel business”. This time, it was the theme of the event “Born Global” to inspire the presented conference: “Questioning the obvious when creating a company”.

For 1 hour, we focused on 9 different points, illustrated by THINKING-BIG’s examples, in a presentation that can be seen here:

Ana Cancela, present at the conference, shared it on social media with the following sentence that we believe is a good summary of the global message we tried to pass: “This is how life happens, when we allow the unlikely to happen.”

Two days later, the feedback of two participants arrived, giving meaning to all the sharing that happens on conferences like these:

-"Trying not to be pessimistic, I thought it unlikely that a conference could catch and delight me so much. It was a wonderful surprise to be able to watch and listen to Edite, working as proof that I need to leave the door open to let the unlikely enter in my life, without ever forgetting that "it is better done than perfect". Thank you."Luisa F.

-"In my opinion, your experience and dedication as an entrepreneur caught everyone's attention and was very important for the motivation of all the participants that are looking for the strength to start as entrepreneurs, losing some fears and taking risks with responsibility. Your contribution exceeded all expectations, being for me the best of the day, being very clear, practical and realistic. I really appreciated the way you presented the conference. Congratulations!"Miguel G.
